Free Range Chicken from HERB FED
This whole chicken from HERB FED in North Yorkshire is a testament to premium poultry. Raised on lush pastures, these truly free-range birds enjoy a herb-enriched diet from four weeks old, featuring fresh basil, dill, coriander, and more, which enhances the natural flavour of the meat. Slow-grown for up to twice the length of commercial chickens, they develop superior taste, tenderness, and succulence. Perfectly suited for any dish, HERB FED chickens deliver exceptional quality and a depth of flavour that truly stands out.
How to prepare your chicken
Ingredients:
• 1 whole chicken (2.2 kg)
• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
• 2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 3-4 cloves garlic (crushed)
• 1 lemon (halved)
• Fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, parsley, or sage)
• 2 carrots (cut into chunks)
• 1 onion (quartered)
• 1 celery stalk (cut into chunks)
Instructions:
Preparation:
1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (fan-forced: 180°C).
2. Prepare Chicken: Remove the chicken from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to bring it to room temperature. Pat dry with paper towels.
Seasoning:
3. Season the Inside: Stuff the cavity with the crushed garlic, halved lemon, and a few sprigs of fresh herbs.
4. Rub the Chicken: Mix olive oil (or melted butter) with salt and pepper, and rub it all over the chicken, ensuring even coverage.
Preparing the Roasting Tray:
5. Vegetable Base: In a roasting tray, place the carrot chunks, onion quarters, and celery to create a bed. This keeps the chicken elevated and adds flavor to the juices.
Roasting:
6. Place the Chicken: Position the chicken breast-side up on the vegetable bed.
7. Cooking Time: Roast the chicken for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. A general rule is 20 minutes per 500 g, plus an additional 20 minutes.
8. Check Temperature: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh. The internal temperature should read 75°C. If not, cook for an additional 10–15 minutes and recheck.
Resting:
9. Rest the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the oven and loosely cover it with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 15–20 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve:
10. Carve and Serve: Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables and your choice of sides.
